Intro: E - B C#m
A B G#m
C#m -  B – A (quickly)
           Am



Verse One:

E – B C#m
          So
I've made up my mind
A              B           C#m                         E
     I will pretend to leave this world behind
        B      C#m
And in the end, you'll know I've lied
 A                   B
To get your attention
G#m C#m – B – A Am
I'm faking my own suicide

Chorus:

          E      B          C#m
I'm faking my own suicide
     A                           E
Because I know you love me
                  A         B
You just haven't realized
        E       B           C#m
I'm faking my own suicide
              A                    B
They'll hold a double funeral
                G#m                   C#m       B              A
Because a part of you will die     along   with me
                Am
It’s kinda sweet

Verse Two:

E – B C#m
  I wish you thought that I was dead
 A                   B          C#m                     E
So rather than me you'd be depressed instead
           B        C#m
 And before arriving at my grave
              A                  B
You'd come to the conclusion
           G#m                      C#m
You'd loved me all your days
       B         A
But it's too late
                              Am
Too late for you to say

Chorus:

                    E     B          C#m
Cause I'm faking my own suicide
     A                           E
Because I know you love me
                  A         B
You just haven't realized
        E       B           C#m
I'm faking my own suicide
              A                    B
They'll hold a double funeral
                G#m                   C#m       B              A Am
Because a part of you will die     along   with me

Verse Three:

 E            B     C#m
I'll write you a letter that you'll keep
      A                          B                  C#m                         E
Reminding you your love for me is more than six feet deep
                B                    C#m
You say aloud that you would have been my wife
   A                       B           G#m                     C#m         B A
Right about that time is when I come back to life   and let you know
                  Am
I'd let you know

Chorus:

                                     E     B C#m
That all along I was faking my own suicide
     A                           E
Because I know you love me
                  A         B
You just never realized
             E     B           C#m
I was faking my own suicide
 A                       B                        G#m                   C#m
I'll walk in that room and see your eyes opened so wide
     B            A
Opened so wide
                      Am
Because you know

Outro:

                        E                     A B
Because you know you will never leave my side
                  E           A                      B
Until the day that I die for the first time
                   E                         A                         B
And we'll laugh, yeah we'll laugh, and we will cry
              E                 A                  B
So overjoyed at our love that's so alive
                          E
Our love is so alive
